dude.. if that's true, you just need an everstone on a mostly flawless pokemon with the nature you want and a ideal (not necessarily flawless if you're aiming for a specific HP type) pokemon (by the 'normal' method) with a destiny knot to breed the 'perfect' pokemon with a (roughly) 1 in 32 chance when the nature passed down is correct (there's a chance it wont be the everstone nature, at least in gen 5. not sure if altered in gen 6).DNA said:Also, Destiny Knot apparently passes down five of the parent's IVs this gen (and it stacks with the Power item). On top of things like Friend Safari (that give you at least two 31s), it should be possible to breed a 6x31 Pokemon fairly easily, even without RNG abuse.
1) Is there a way to tell the difference in IVs between several freshly hatched LV1 Pokemon of the same species/nature without having to level them up first?
2) If not, what do you recommend I level them up to to notice a difference?
3) If I do have to level them up to be able to tell the difference, obviously their EVs will be affected. If I were to use the Reset Bags in "Super Training" or any other item to reset EVs, will I still use the current stats of my Pokemon in the equations above?
4) Also, in this equation, do you always round up? Or just round up when the resulting number is x.5 or higher, and round down when the resulting number is x.4 or lower?

Yes, Gengarite is banned. For future reference, here is our official banlist: XY OU Banlist
Okay, you should've specified what format you were talking about. It's allowed for anything run by Pokémon officially. Anything under Smogon, PB, or the like is where it is banned.Pokewiz1999 said:I thought that list only meant Pokebeach tournaments. It's illegal for Pokemon sanctioned tournaments? I didn't see anything like that in the rules but I easily could have skipped it.

He doesn't get Quick Attack (or any sort of priority). You need to have them killed via sand damage.I really want to make a team that can troll my friends, I figured some stuff but I need some advice on it

OK, a few things, having used most of theses species before. Togekiss only gets Body Slam from previous gens (no way to teach it in Gen 6 unless tutors are magically added to the game later) Airslash/Twave/Roost/Flamethrower is generally sufficient in gen 6 (held item: leftovers).
Legitimate Wish Chansey/Blissey are a myth. Yes, it was released in a gen 3 NY event, but not many got the chansey during the short time it was available. Furthermore, of the chansey that were picked up none of them had good IVs (as RNG abuse wasn't even documented at the time, much less practicable for live distributions). To top it off, practically every legitimate wish chansey (who wasn't particularly good at the time due to the mechanics of the move only healing half of the receiving pokemon's HP) died a quiet death to lost/restarted games, etc. A couple may have found their way to gen 4 games, but by that time it was (for the most part) ignored as inferior to other wish users or other blissey sets (remember, Eviolite wasn't a thing before gen 5, so even if a Wish Chansey was used, it was usually evolved first) in the competitive scene. Not until gen 5 was it really "good" as a wish user/passer (Wish then healed half of the user's max HP regarless of the reciever, so 300+ HP wishes were now a thing), which spawned a huge wave of chansey/blissey with the move hacked on. I can guarantee every wish chansey you find today will be a hack.
Regarding Liepard, it's not that it's fragile, it's mainly the lack of coverage and the fact you give everything more power to hit you with when your defenses geneally are ignored EV wise (invetment mainly goes into Speed and HP on Liepard). Sableye is actually a better option since Burn-stall is often more viable than Swagger-Foul Play (Klefki is better as spikes and/or Dual Screens support than Swagger/FP).

Force the opponent to attack me then priority destiny bond
Having used Mega Banette myself, I find the "priority Stolen" set to be highly effective. It relies on prediction to a large degree, but it can be powerful when used correctly. Here is my set:
Banette (F) @ Banettite
Trait: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk
Brave Nature (+Atk, -Spd)
- Will-O-Wisp
- Shadow Sneak
- Sucker Punch
- Destiny Bond
With this, you get great coverage, hit very hard, and can deal with many major threats in the game (including the infamous Gale Wings Talonflame). Just beware Prankster doesn't take effect on the turn you mega-evolve. :/

Metricus said:Hey, guys I need some help getting back into the competitive online play. I've been on-off ever since Gen IV, but with the new streamlining of online play I really want to get back into it for good. I've got a decent team in X and when Poketransfer comes out I'll have access to my entire Black team, and in case anybody was wondering, yes I do breed and EV train. My question is, where do I start? There so much stuff going on that it feels a bit overwhelming. I feel like one of the first things I need to do is get my team rated, and then start battling. If someone could give me some direction it would be much appreciated.
